I’m not talking about showing homes, I mean, where did you run for safety when the tornado sirens started blaring? I was out driving, looking at homes — OMG I’ve got the scoop on 4511 Watauga coming up, Jeeze Louise 13,000 square feet and another double-level closet! What is it with these two story master closets? My daughter texts me that there are tornadoes, my husband tells me everyone at Presbyterian has gone to the basement! So I drive home to our tornado closet, stopping to warn every yard man I could! There were two men in a tree, chopping wood, and I thought, my God, they will be blown away! Our yard men were on the mowers with ear protectors on, I had to flag them down and drag them into our garage while I made room in the storm closet. The way it is now, our junk will survive a tornado while we are blown away! I hope others of you were in more elegant locations.

Remind me to schedule lunch with Doris at the Mansion or Fearings next time a storm rolls into town.

I love April Fools. My two favorite jokes include putting a rubber band around the kitchen faucet sprayer so that the unsuspecting user of said faucet gets soaked, and hijacking a friend’s phone and sending a picture of a positive pregnancy test to their entire contact list. Were you the butt of a good April…
“Sellers very pleased with sale” — boy if that isn’t the understatement of the century! Details of Friday’s sale of Champ d’Or by auction up in Denton are eeking out. I got word from Laura Brady with Concierge Auctions that the buyers are definitely a family who apparently plans to live in the 40,000 square…
I have been on pins and needles waiting out this auction, bugging Robbie Briggs and Laura Brady at Concierge Actions all day yesterday. At about eight p.m. Friday night Robbie Briggs emailed me that “It was a fascinating process, and it appears to be successful.” Saturday morning I heard from Laura Brady who said — “we…
